The best (affordable!) sandals on the market

Plus everything else Ciera is loving right now!

Hi, I'm Ciera!   I'm a market editor here at BuzzFeed. I just started on the team back in May, and it's hard to believe I actually get to shop for a living! What a dream! I currently live right outside of NYC in Connecticut, so I spend my weekends going to the beach, taking boat rides, and just generally living out my best "Gilmore Girls" fantasies.      Photos: Ciera Velarde When I'm not working, you can find me reading (love a good psychological thriller!), catching up on all the Real Housewives franchises, trying out a new recipe, or wedding planning (just got engaged last month!!) Here are some of my current fave purchases I can't get enough of recently!   Hope you enjoy my picks! Forwarded This Newsletter?     Think of WANT THIS as your own personal shopper!

Subscribe Now WHAT I'M LOVING NOW Cleo+Coco Dry Shampoo + Body Powder in Grapefruit Bergamot — $16     I am a *very* sweaty person in the summer months, and this combo dry shampoo/body powder has been an absolute godsend. It's so satisfying to watch the little "poof" of powder as you press down on the top! The nozzle helps you apply the product exactly where you need it, whether that's your sweaty hairline after a walk outside or underneath your bra to prepare for the 100-degree heat. Plus: it smells like heaven! Brightland Artist Capsule Olive Oil — $115   I bought this trio of olive oils for my fiancé this past Christmas and we've both used them on a weekly basis since! Brightland sources their olives from a family-run California farm, and you can definitely taste the difference. This pack has their boldest flavors, including chili, basil, and lemon, which I love to use to make my own salad dressings! And each bottle comes with a beautiful design on the front, so it'll look fabulous sitting out on your kitchen counter. 100 Movies Scratch Off Poster — $23.98   I love watching movies, but sometimes, I find myself scrolling through all the streaming services for hours and never *actually* watching anything. That's why I bought this scratch-off poster featuring 100 of the best movies of all time — it's so much easier to consult this list when I can't think of a movie to watch, *and* it's gotten me to expand my movie tastes and finally watch some classics I've been putting off (looking at you, Lord of the Rings!) It's also so fun to scratch off each tile when you're done watching and see the cleverly designed illustration underneath! Target Gia Platform Sandals — $29.99   I had a lot of trips this summer, and I knew I wanted to buy a pair of shoes that looked cute and had support but that didn't have heels or were hard to walk in. (Hey, I've spent the past year and a half pretty much wearing slippers exclusively!) Enter: the best pair of shoes I've ever bought. These platform sandals have a super comfy sole, stay secure on your foot thanks to the straps, and they go with everything. I've literally walked miles in these and never once did I feel pain or get a blister. I'm literally contemplating buying another pair in case they ever stop making them! ON MY WISHLIST This handmade purse made to look like a book. This super-cute sun visor that's packable. These cleansing cuffs that keep water from running down your arms when washing your face. (Genius!) This stylish and comfortable bikini top specifically designed for bigger chests. (Hallelujah!) This candle that smells just like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride aka the best smell on earth! These highly pigmented eyeliners that are perfect for creating a fun, bold look. This La Croix cross-stitch pattern for when I finally decide to take up cross-stitching. This bookshelf bookmark that helps you track all the great books you've read.   More From BuzzFeed Shopping If You Want To Get Some Compliments, Check Out These 32 Summer Dresses 20 Organizing Items For Anyone Whose Only Storage Area Is Under Their Bed 27 Tops That Are As Comfy As They Are Stylish 28 Things That Will Clean For You So You're Free To Live 43 Ways To Make Traveling So Much Less Stressful 30 Inexpensive And Useful Products To Help You Get Through The Week View our privacy notice and cookie policy.     BuzzFeed, Inc. 111 E. 18th St. New York, NY 10003   We hope you love the products we recommend!
